Depression Counselor

Diane Schmidt, LSCSW

Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker

Depression can be distressful and often times misunderstood or downplayed by others. Understanding that depression is a valid experience can help in taking the first steps to getting help. While medications are certainly valuable in some cases, it's still very important to address the underlying issues that may be also contributing to the depression. With our busy lifestyles, depression is on the rise. It's roughly ten times higher today than it was just two generations ago. Together we will assess your present and past experiences and formulate a plan to help you better understand what you are experiencing, what you can do about it and how to feel better.

Sherrie Pucket, LPC,NCC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Depression is felt by everyone at one time or another; however, if you are living under the cloud of depression, counseling will help you to discover new truths. Negative thoughts are often the result of the inablity to see truth. Cognitive Behavior therapy is used in session to help clients to change negative thought patters. Narrative therapy is also used with clients suffering from depression.

Adam Lynch, MA, LMFT

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Depression can feel so heavy and disorienting. In fact, I'm not even a big fan of the word because it stirs in us the thought that we're alone and almost unable to be helped. But don't we all struggle with varying degrees of sadness? You may be experiencing what you feel like is all you can handle. Take heart, I believe we can be comforted and given hope in these hard places. I would love to help you pull out of it and be reoriented to the love and hope that we can find in a relationship with God.

Depression can be invasive in our lives leading to withdrawal from others, anger, negative feelings towards self and others, trouble concentrating and making decisions, a change in sleeping habits, tearfulness, suicidal thoughts and/or attempts, and overall dissatisfaction with life and feeling unhappy. If you feel this may have taken over your life please call and we can evaluate the depth of your depression. I have two excellent tools that will help you determine the degree of your depression. We can look at the options together on how best to treat it, whether by medication from your physician and counseling or counseling and alternative therapies or just talk therapy alone.

Depression Counselor

Laura Drinkard, LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist

Depression can be a dark, gloomy, scary place. Some describe it as feeling lost in a forest, others like a they are engulfed in a dark black cloud. Maybe you have found yourself in a place similar. I specialize in depression as well as other mental health concerns such as anxiety, which can often surface with depressive symptoms. My hope for you is that we don't just get rid of the feeling of being depressed, but we also work through the issues that caused the depression to manifest in your life so that you can experience peace and hope once again.

Depression Counselor

Aaron Mitchum, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

People often think depression is something wrong with them, often though it has more to do with the wrong way people are relating to you.
I work from a warm, empathic standpoint in which I try to enter your shoes and understand your experiences as you do, not as others do. Insight is not the main goal (although that certainly happens), rather formative moments of feeling tuned into, deeply understood and emotionally held are the goal. These offer new emotional experiences that really catalyze psychological growth and healing.
Benefits include increased: feelings of vitality and realness, hope, self-esteem, emotion regulation, etc.

Depression Counselor

Mary Sheridan, LSCSW

Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker

Depression is a many faceted life challenge. Mary has experience in helping many people rise up from their depression issues. Many approaches working together are needed to find the right solution for depression. The whole body/whole mind approach appears to work well. We must look at every single aspect of what brought the depressive state on in the first place. Then, we try and correct the root of the problem while nurturing the body and the mind back to a state of well-being.

Depression Counselor

Matthew Luckenbach, DCoun, LPC., RPT, NCC, CCMHC

Licensed Professional Counselor

We all have times we feel so down that it is hard to get up in the morning or to any motivation to accomplish anything. This is something that can deeply affect our lives and relationships. Therefore it is necessary to seek help in order for you to become the "old me," again. I will work with you on exploring your depression and empower you to lift yourself out of it.

Depression Counselor

Kristal Krahl-Camp, LMFT

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Most people who are seeking therapy for depression have been referred by their doctor or they are feeling like it is the last resort. They have been trying to do it all on their own and that is not working. Depression can be a short-term, situational issue or it can be something that you struggle with for life. The important thing is finding someone who understands what you are going through and how to help you come out on the other side. You don't have to do this all on your own. Let me help you discover what is causing your depression and things you can do to feel better and manage it. ** I also work with women who are experiencing post-partum depression.

Depression Counselor

Tish Kovac, MA, LMFT

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

Depression can leave us immobilized, unable to do the things in life that we normally do without much effort. At the heart of it is the pain of disconnection that leaves a person feeling alone and isolated. I'll help you clarify the messages you're telling yourself that are keeping you stuck, and work through the related emotions, so that you come to a place of motivation to take the next step that will lead to a fulfilling life.
